Pilot's Log

...The President will suffer a very violent death of his own before this month is over, and probably not alone when it happens.

And to throw a Rasputinesque twist to this prediction: if a foreign terrorist kills him the United States will last forever; if an American murders him the United States will die with him.

Did this tonight from a story idea I posted on this Livejournal a short time back.



What everything on the chart means.

Nobody Has Yet Proved Me Wrong That The Only Good American Is A Dead American. The next genocide is coming.

Update: The Knoxville Center Mall Shooting...and the legal controversy being generated.

Practical upshot: an alleged pillar of the alleged community was there carrying his alleged pistol. In a building where the law says only law enforcement officers are allowed to be armed!

I feel a bizarre twinge of synchronicital rightness about not so much the what as the when and the why.

This past week, PBS aired the last episode of Niall Ferguson's documentary series War of the World, about the violence of the past century, its causes, and what it means about human nature. The parts about the ethnic wars in the former Yugoslavia were particularly chilling to me...because I can see how such things could happen even in America--especially now, as we're in tough economic times, with a government people are beginning to lose faith in, and an election cycle that promises to polarize this country along ethnic lines.

The event Ferguson used to illustrate what happened cuts to the core of human nature. ( Not for weak stomachs. )

This scene was repeated dozens of times over the course of the war. People were forced to choose between self-preservation and their fellow man, and their fellow man would lose again and again.

I can very easily imagine this happening here in this century. AND I WANT SOMEBODY TO PROVE ME WRONG.
